Cast Party
For the full dress rehearsal on Sunday, December 1st the call is 10 AM for MS/HS students and 11am for MUNCHKINS. We will be running the show with costumes, hair, make-up, props, drops, mics, etc…. just as we would a performance for an audience. These are closed rehearsals... There will be no actors sitting in the audience at any time and no parents (except production staff) sitting in the audience. We need help in the dressing rooms and the backstage area so if you’re a parent that is staying, that is where you should be.
Dressing rooms have been assigned and actors must use the room assigned them. When not required on stage, be in your own dressing room. There is absolutely no exploring the building or running around the hallways allowed. I know that everyone loves to hang out in my room but, that is no longer an option. There is too much stuff with people, racks, mirrors, etc. Please be respectful of the spaces that we are using.
Please remember that no one should be eating messy, saucy, chocolately, sloppy foods in the dressing rooms, near costumes, while wearing costumes, or anywhere in the auditorium. No soda! and avoid milk they’re bad for your singing voice. DRINK LOTS OF WATER. Everyone should have their own water bottle w/name on it. Bring healthy/non-messy snacks (apples, carrots, crackers, pretzels).
No cast member should be entering the wings prematurely - nor watching the show from the wings! It is essential that the actors stay out of the way for the stage crew to move things efficiently and safely.
No one should be on their cell phones while we are running. Please leave them with your things in the dressing rooms.
We have start times established but, we need to run through the entire show. Sometimes it is hard to predict how things will go. So, there may be instances when we run long. After today, there are only 8 rehearsals & 4 shows left. Please realize that we need to run the show in its’ entirety at every rehearsal and we cannot just end early to dismiss actors/crew/pit at a specific time. That is yet another reason why it’s called hell week…
We have decided to have call a little bit earlier this year so that we can start running earlier. Our motivation is to get kids home earlier and closer to bedtime. PLEASE do all that you can to make appropriate arrangements. There are lots of children in this production therefore there must be an opportunity to carpool.
The photographer from Art Rich will be at next Saturday’s dress rehearsal (12/1) photographing for the yearbook.
There are still some volunteer positions that we need filled. If you COMMENT on the box/area that you want to sign up to help with, I will see the comment and fill it in for you. If you are working backstage/dressing rooms for one or more shows, you should really be back there for a dress rehearsal or two to truly understand how things will work.
Feel free to bring coloring books, board games, cards, etc. to occupy the younger cast members as they have a lot of waiting to do.
Please sign up to bring something to the cast party on Sunday, December 9th. Thanks to Amy Hofmann and Amy Taylor-Fernandez who were the first ones to step up and say that they’d be willing to organize it. They will definitely need help with set-up and clean-up though!
The cast party will take place immediately following strike in the Wamogo Cafeteria. (Crock pots are great! Drop them off when you arrive on Sunday) The expectation is that every family brings a dish to share. If that happens, there will be plenty of food for all of the cast, crew, pit, parents, production staff, and volunteers.
Stage crew - no cell phones - no food or drink backstage or on set pieces. And, you must stay backstage at all times unless you are assigned to do something else like the spotlights. PLEASE do not hang out in the dressing rooms prior to running as there are a lot of things required of you pre-production also. Without the stage crew working together, the show will not run smoothly. So, please make sure that you’ve completed all of your tasks and that you’re ready to go before you take any ‘down time’.
